The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is the world’s foremost destination for whisky lovers. The Society only bottles whiskies from individual casks or barrels from 120 of the world’s best distilleries. Each bottle is exceptional and limited in availability, and only Members have access.

Each Society Gift Membership starts with the custom Membership box, four carefully selected 100ml single cask, single malt whiskies, plus other Society goodies. These samples give a taste not only of the Society as a whole, but also the delectable single cask single malts offered. Then, each month, a carefully curated collection of rare single malt whiskies is made available to the members to choose the ones they desire. A membership in the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America is available online.

Just in time for Father’s Day, there are three Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa and Sonoma for dad. Growing up, everyone in the Martini household knew dad preferred a nice Cabernet to a new pair of socks on Father’s Day. Not much has changed; we’re pretty sure that dad will take a great Cab over a striped tie any day!

For more than 80 years, the Martini family has made Cabernet Sauvignon its passion and pride. Each vintage, they focus on crafting Cabernet that is an equal expression of the grape variety and the vineyard site.

For the dad who prefers the finer things in life, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is recommended for its rich dark fruit flavors and luxurious palate.
The Sonoma County Cabernet is for the dad who enjoys a tried and true wine; in this case, a classic expression of Sonoma’s premier vineyards balanced with subtle hints of oak.
Alexander Valley Cab offers an alternative for the dad who likes to break away from the mainstream but still demands a high quality wine packed with flavor.

Blended from five Cognac crus, this captivating Cognac is the ultimate expression of the art of distillation and aging passed from generation to generation. Celebrate your own “Family Legacy” with this special blend. The Cognac is presented in a handsome decanter; a treasured gift for a treasured father.

Blue Nectar Tequilawas founded by a father and son duo with a mutual love for Mexican culture. When asked separately, both BN and Nikhil Bahadur are quick to say that their favorite Blue Nectar Tequila is the Reposado ($44.99), which is a unique blend of reposado and even older extra añejo tequilas: just like a family, the older “generation” mellows and smooths the younger.

Beautifully packaged, this new super premium Reposado has a full agave flavor highlighted by a light oak wood character. In the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2014, the Reposado came out on top with a score of 94 and the Chairman’s Trophy.

With lush fruit flavors of apple blossom, ripe pear, sweet lemon drop and toasty oak, the 2012 North Coast Clos du Bois Chardonnay is an approachable wine perfect for the wine-loving mom.

Try cooking your mom a delicious meal of fish prepared in lemon butter or pasta in cream sauce to pair with a few glasses of Clos du Bois Chardonnay. The bottle’s new bright yellow label will certainly have her smiling!
